While discussing a patch to discard .eh_frame from the compressed vmlinux using the linker script, Fangrui Song pointed out [1] that these sections shouldn't exist in the first place because arch/x86/Makefile uses -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables. It turns out this is because the Makefiles used to build the compressed kernel redefine KBUILD_CFLAGS, dropping this flag. Add the flag to the Makefile for the compressed kernel, as well as the EFI stub Makefile to fix this. Also add the flag to boot/Makefile and realmode/rm/Makefile so that the kernel's boot code (boot/setup.elf) and realmode trampoline (realmode/rm/realmode.elf) won't be compiled with .eh_frame sections, since their linker scripts also just discard them.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
